as students to participate in many dental outreach programmes in various parts of the country over the weekends.\u00a0 As a student, one is never prepared to see the amount of dental disease in those populations.\u00a0 There was a lot of dental caries, periodontal disease, and edentulism secondary to extractions to treat dental caries.\u00a0 What stuck out was the lack of dental services in those rural areas and if there were present, the facilities are run down and dilapidated.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently I graduated and was employed by the government in a rural facility.\u00a0 Despite having the knowledge and skills to provide curative services, I realized that patients often presented late when the only treatment options available were either extractions or root canal treatments.\u00a0 In my mind, I thought it better to educate the catchment population around the hospital to prevent dental disease and providing education about early diagnosis and treatment.\u00a0 However, no such programmes existed at the time.<\/p>\n<p>I later enrolled for a postgraduate degree in paediatric dentistry at the University of Nairobi.\u00a0 I was exposed to the high dental disease burden in children who presented late and often required extensive treatment which few could afford.\u00a0 During the course we were introduced to aspects of public health with a focus on dental health and its relationship with general well-being.\u00a0 My interaction with dental public health specialists during this time also kindled my interest in prevention being better and cheaper than curative services.\u00a0 Writing a thesis was part of the course and this introduced me to carrying out research and its importance.<\/p>\n<p>As a practicing paediatric dentist interested in carrying out research, I have been fortunate to have wonderful mentors, Prof Kemoli and Prof Ana Lucia Seminario.\u00a0 They have linked me to research opportunities and guided me.\u00a0 Most notably, they provided guidance and invaluable help when I applied to be a Fogarty fellow.\u00a0 Although I was not successful, I appreciated immensely the opportunity and \u2018hand holding\u2019 I received.\u00a0 Most recently, I was part of the initial cohort of trainees for the DeRouen Center at University of Washington for training young researchers in Kenya and Uganda on publishing manuscripts.\u00a0 This was a wonderful programme where I learned a lot and was fortunate to publish my manuscript based on my postgraduate thesis in a leading dental journal.<\/p>\n<p>The more I continue practicing as a paediatric dentist I realize the big gap that exists in patient education and advocacy and the lack of preventive programmes.\u00a0 I hope that by continuing to do research in dental public health I will be able to address some of these gaps and influence change in a positive manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My first encounter with a dentist was as a child.\u00a0 I
